Cardiac Science Powerheart AED G3 Defibrillation Pads - Adult (1)

Keeping a Powerheart G3 rescue-ready means holding in-date adult pads alongside it, because expired or missing pads leave the unit not rescue-ready, so it cannot be relied on when needed. These are the adult Intellisense defibrillation pads for the Powerheart G3, for patients older than eight years, the age above which ANZCOR Guideline 7 supports standard adult pads. The manufacturer also frames adult use as roughly 25kg and above. They store pre-connected to the AED so the unit is ready the moment it is switched on.

The G3 adult pads are non-polarised, which means either pad can go in either position on the chest, upper-right or lower-left. That removes a decision point under pressure and saves time during a rescue. The pad graphics show correct placement to reduce hesitation at the scene.

Using Cardiac Science Rescue Ready technology and embedded circuitry, the Intellisense pads communicate their presence, functionality, patient type, energy and CPR protocol and expiry back to the G3 unit, so the AED knows the pads are fitted and in date. Each set carries a 2-year shelf life, so a replacement schedule is worth setting against the printed expiry. The manufacturer part number is REF 9131-001.

Matching the right pad to the unit on hand is straightforward, since the G3 and G5 sets, adult and paediatric, sit together in the one range. If you are unsure which set fits your AED, call 03 5443 2239 before ordering.

Usage

Store the pads pre-connected to the G3 so the unit is ready on switch-on. Check the printed expiry against your AED's Rescue Ready indicator on a routine schedule and replace before the date passes. In a rescue, bare the chest and place the pads as shown on the pad graphics; because they are non-polarised, either pad can sit in either position. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for use supplied with the pads.

Compliance

The ARTG status of these pads has not yet been confirmed for this listing, so no ARTG claim is made. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for use supplied with the product.

Common questions

Which AED do these fit? The Powerheart G3 series. They are not compatible with the G5; the G5 uses a separate pad set.

How long do they last? Each set has a 2-year shelf life. Replace before the printed expiry so the AED stays rescue-ready.

Are these adult or child pads? Adult, for patients older than eight years (the age above which ANZCOR Guideline 7 supports standard adult pads; the manufacturer also frames this as roughly 25kg and above). Younger children use the separate G3 paediatric pads.

These pads belong with a G3 unit listed in the defibrillators collection. For a plain-English run-through of compressions and AED use across age groups, see our guide to CPR across ages.
